Bimbombey by Jimmie F. Rodgers

Bimbombey

by Jimmie F. Rodgers

James Frederick Rodgers (September 18, 1933 – January 18, 2021) was an American pop singer. Rodgers had a run of hits and mainstream popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. His string of crossover singles ranked highly on the Billboard Pop Singles, Hot Country and Western Sides, and Hot Rhythm and Blues Sides charts; in the 1960s, Rodgers had more modest successes with adult contemporary music. He was not related to country music pioneer Jimmie C. Rodgers (1897–1933), who died the same year the younger Rodgers was born. Among country audiences, and in his official songwriting credits, the younger Rodgers, Jimmie Frederick, was often credited as Jimmie F. Rodgers to differentiate the two.

Bimbombey, Bimbombey
On the way to Bimbombey
There's a hill on the way to Bimbombey
There's a house on the hill and a girl in the house
On the hill on the way to Bimbombey
A house on the hill and a girl in the house
On the hill on the way to Bimbombey

[Chorus:]
Jing-a-ling-a-lyoh (Jing-a-ling-a-lyoh)
Jing-a-ling-a-lyay (Jing-a-ling-a-lyay)
Jing-a-ling-a-ly, jing-a-ling-a-ly
Jing-a-ling-a-lyay-ay-ay 
Jing-a-ling-a-lyay (Jing-a-ling-a-lyay)

There's a store in Bimbombey
There's a ring in the store in Bimbombey
That's where I'll buy the ring for the girl in the house
On the hill on the way to Bimbombey
I'll buy the ring for the girl in the house
On the hill on the way to Bimbombey

[Chorus]

Once I get to Bimbombey
You can bet I will stay in Bimbombey
That's where I'll settle down with the girl in the house
On the hill on the way to Bimbombey
I'll settle down with the girl in the house
On the hill on the way to Bimbombey

[Chorus]

Bimbombey
Bimbombey
Bimbombey
